The GrenlllerN.

1t is evident that the project of establish
ing creamery in Bratteboro got as good
a send off as could be asked for at the meet
ing held last Saturday We regard the
movement as one of the most important
which has ever been undertaken here for
the benefit of the farmers and through them
for the benefit of the general business of
the town. Experience with well managed
creamelies has everywhere shown that they
increase the value of the farmers dairy
products, lessen the household work, and
appreciate materially the value of the
farms. A creamery well established in
Brattleboro and turning out frst-clas goods
means a rise in the money value of Brattle
boro farms. The only thing needed for the
success of the enterprise is for every wide
awake, thrifty farmer to give it his cordia
roiinprntiOn

1t is very pertinent paragraph which
